Complex genetic determinism of male-fertility restoration in the gynodioecious snail Physa acuta [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology
Male fertility in plants is often controlled by the interaction between mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Some mitotypes confer cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), making the individual male-sterile, unless the nuclear background contains alleles called ...

Dynamics of Angiostrongylus cantonensis infection in invasive snails Biomphalaria straminea and Physa acuta from Guangdong, southern China

Parasitology
Biomphalaria straminea (Gastropoda: Planorbidae) and Physa acuta (Gastropoda: Physidae), both invasive species in southern China, are important vectors for zoonotic diseases.

Predation Potential of the Water Bugs Sphaerodema rusticum on the Sewage Snails Physa acuta [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
The sewage snail Physa acuta is a serious threat to certain economic plants and to the purification plant of sewage works by rendering the biofilters ineffective. Various attempts are being made to control it.

Interactions Between Maternal, Paternal, Developmental, and Immediate Environmental Effects on Anti-predator Behavior of the Snail Physa acuta

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Transgenerational plasticity, which occurs when the environment experienced by parents changes the phenotype of offspring, is widespread in animal and plant species.

Both nuclear and cytoplasmic polymorphisms are involved in genetic conflicts over male fertility in the gynodioecious snail, Physa acuta

Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution
Gynodioecy, the coexistence of hermaphrodites with females, often reflects conflicts between cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) genes and nuclear genes restoring male fertility. CMS is frequent in plants, and has been recently discovered in one animal: the

The effects of naproxen sodium on the growth, reproduction, survival, and feeding of a freshwater pond snail [PDF]

PeerJ
Over-the-counter drugs are emerging contaminants in the environment. These contaminants often affect aquatic communities, including freshwater invertebrates. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly found in aquatic ecosystems worldwide

A Contribution Toward Understanding Trematode Diversity in Freshwater Snails of the Southwestern Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. [PDF]

J Trop Med
Background Freshwater snails serve as intermediate hosts for trematode parasites and play a key role in transmitting various parasitic diseases. Snail‐borne trematodiases pose important public and veterinary health risks in South Asia, where freshwater snails sustain transmission in agricultural and periurban waters.

Freshwater Snails at the Biodiversity-Climate-Health Nexus: A Call to Recognize Neglected Models for Eco-Evolutionary and One Health Research. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Freshwater snails occupy a unique position at the intersection of biodiversity, climate, and health. I argue that their ecological plasticity, reproductive diversity, and role as parasite hosts make them powerful yet overlooked model systems for integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics with One Health challenges.
